RHS Boys Lose To Atchison

From the Capital-Journal

Kade Perine drives to basket Friday night.

 ATCHISON 49, ROSSVILLE 40 — The effort to follow a state-championship football season with a successful basketball season continues for the Rossville boys program. The Bulldawgs took 4-2 Atchison to the wire, but couldn’t make the plays they needed in the final minute. 

Kade Perine took over in the fourth quarter, scoring seven points to lead Rossville back to within four points. But the Bulldawgs were forced to foul late, and failed to convert into points at the offensive end. 

Kade Perine’s free throws with 57 seconds remaining pulled the Bulldawgs to within four points at 44-40. But a couple of missed opportunities let the chance for Rossville’s second win of the year slip away. 

Perine led the Bulldawgs with 12 points, followed by seven from Patrizi and Brody Lietz.

From the Capital-Journal

The Rossville girls concluded the fall semester with a 63-25 romp over Atchison to head to the holiday break with a 4-1 record.  

A 4-0 burst by Atchison to start the game didn’t faze the Bulldawgs. They quickly rebounded with a 12-0 run to take command. Their full-court pressure shut the Phoenix down for the next four minutes. By the end of a dominant first quarter, Rossville led 21-6. 

The game was effectively over at halftime, when the Bulldawgs had extended the gap to 41-15. 

Kinley Porter and Shyanne Haehn led the scoring at the half with nine points apiece. 

The Bulldawgs got everyone in the game in the second half and still won with a running clock.  

Porter and Kinsey Perine finished as the leading scorers with 12 points each.
